Buy High Sell Higher (Equities)

Part of my process is a set of criteria where I don't buy unless the majority of them are met.

Showing momentum on the hourly would be one of your criteria.
Breakout on volume another.

I woudn't buy because part of my criteria are conditions should be bullish.
It's a biotech. (Great risk reward when they work buy any hiccup and you can't depend on getting out anywhere close to your stop.)
I like stocks to look good on all time frames.
I don't like to see a lot of overhead.
But that's only my process, I was just curious about yours.

What bought the stock to your attention.
Can you walk me through your thought process.

I have plenty of fail lately,
More filters could definitely increases the odds.

Playing loose hands.

Not a bunch of setups,
Indexes down on all timeframes,
Breakouts turn into great short entries.


I am aware of the Biotech issues,
Current environment make them even more vulnerable to gap down.

The overhead makes sense.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I know there can be quick winners on the hourly,
I check the monthly performance.

Found 4 stocks …
FNGR, PEGY, IMUX and another

They are all above the 200, 50 and 20 sma.
They trade above 1 million shares

On the daily they look extended,
But the close keeps higher than the highest low.

No sign of reversal on the daily,
I watch for a little consolidation on the hourly,
The cleaner and the tighter the pause, the better.

If it closes above the resistance with above average volume then I buy …

It’s really basic.

That’s why I lost a bunch lately.
It works well when the market’s going up.

That’s why I had a rule not to buy while the indexes are reactionary.

I should follow it.

Still have to find my process.
 
Ideally I’d trade like Jim Roppel

But because I have a small account,
I feel like I can make more and quicker …
By being more loose and trading like Minervini or Qullamaggie …

In a bear market :banghead:
None of them would be buying like me RN

Maybe I feel smarter but the market keeps humbling me.

TSLA just fell 8% straight after a 10% rise.
There’s money to be made intraday but I’ll forget about swing trading until the volatility calms down.
